Default Top speed for a 2005 RAM HEMI?

Obviously the speed is electronically limited in these vehicles, but say the limitation was removed for autobahn use or something, what is the top speed of these vehicles? I can't find the information listed anywhere, other than the SRT-10 top speed record.[/align][/align]

Seeing as the hp is rated the same on my 06, I can tell you that I've hit 120 and had plenty of pull and rpm left. Not daring enough to try any faster though, as I have the stock 20" goodyears, which are rated at like 118 mph.

even though its fun...pickups get scary going over 120...starts shaking and drifting and they get veryyy touchy. Wouldn't reccommend it with stock suspension and tires.

Had mine past 120 with the stock 17's not sure how fast, was quite a rush and fun killing the chevy, the best part is I had my quad in the back.

Mines been up to 135mph on z rated tires, I wouldn't recomendgoing any higher than thatthough unless you do some suspension upgrades because the truck starts to rattle right about 130.

That's 230km/h, I've had my truck past 200km/h so I think that's reasonable.

Without modifying the hell out of the truck I would never try to go past 90mph... Do you really think it is safe to drive that fast with stock suspension?

Remember, it is not a car, it is a truck.

Damn CT, with no level ground. I never have enough room to really open it up. She'll do 115 mph up a pretty decent hill.
